18 Holes | Par 72 | By Phil Ryan | Opened 2007

About the course

The most important features are the natural creeks that run
throughout the course and the rocks used in the design of
some holes. The course aims to test the world's top golfers,
but also playable and enjoyable for the average golfer.

It offers generous fairways for the shorter hitter, but becomes
narrower for the longer. All the holes provide a safe route, but
for the more adventurous player there’s a higher risk option
with a potential greater reward. The greens are large with
many pin positions, different degrees of difficulty, and are
well protected by beautifully sculptured bunkers.

Playing the course: Blue tees

The 4th 351 yards par 4 is a downhill drive to
a generous fairway, which should give you
a bit of run on the ball. The second shot is
a dog-leg left to an island green that often
causes a few wobbles, but you should be left
with about a 7 or 6 iron, so keep it straight
to avoid the bunkers that effectively guard
a gently sloping and long green. Pin positions
vary in difficulty, just to make the
hole even more challenging! Any
short shots tend to run back down the
green so try and pitch up to the flag.

The 6th 569 yards par 5 plays downhill from
an elevated tee to another generous fairway.
Don’t worry about the distance, as it plays
much shorter than the yardage and the hole is
less daunting off the regular tees. The second
shot gives you a risk-reward option straight at
the green, or a safe route to the right, but the
shot looks much shorter than it really
is, so get a correct yardage. If you
go for it in two, you must take on
water surrounding 60 percent of
the green, sand and a lone tree
blocking the direct route to the flag.

The 14th 165 yards par 3 is the pick of a
great set of par 3’s. The tee shot is straight
at the mountains over a lake, to a large
green that’s framed by massive bunkers
covering much of the left side. If the pin
is back left, you must gamble by hitting
a slight draw to hit it close and let the ball
run up from the front of the green. The right
side is the safer option, but get your putting
boots on if the flag is left. You’ll be putting
uphill and over a ridge to get to the hole.

The 19th hole

The location of the clubhouse was chosen to give a panoramic
view over the whole course, as well as positioning the 1st,
and 10th tees, and the 9th and 18th greens, directly in front.

No expense has been spared to make the course as good as
possible and the same is true of the clubhouse. The facilities
include fine dining in the restaurant, a well stocked pro shop
and luxurious locker rooms. Black Mountain intends to offer
service and dining to a standard that’s normally only found
in the finest hotels. Construction of villas and condominiums
with course views is underway.
